Paper Tower

Paper Tower is a simple teambuilding activity that involves creativity, planning and teamwork.  Build the tallest tower using just newspapers and masking tape.

• Materials required: A measuring tape; for each team, also provide one stack of newspaper, 1 large roll, of masking tape, and scissors.  Thus, an activity with four teams would require at least four stacks of newspapers and four rolls of tape.
• Number of People Recommended: Three or four teams of 4-5 people are ideal.
• Time Required: 20-25 minutes.

How Do You Play Paper Tower?
Setup
Form teams of 5-10 people.  If necessary the teams can be larger, but small teams are ideal to allow players to all stay involved.  Supply each team with a stack of newspaper and a roll of masking tape.  If you wish, you can also supply some plastic straws and other common paper/plastic objects, but this is optional.
The goal is simple: have your team build the tallest or highest tower made of newspapers!

Each team will build a tall tower using the materials supplied.  When time is up, stop everyone and use the measuring tape to determine the winner.  Towers must remain standing and not fall
